Lana & nearby

A combination of Tyrolean culture and Mediterranean ambience

Lana is located in a beautiful and optimal position at the foot of Mount Vigilio and between the two major centres of South Tyrol, Bolzano and Merano; surrounded by beautiful orchards, it is the ideal starting point for wonderful excursions and hikes.

Val d'Ultimo, one of the most traditional valleys in South Tyrol, is just a short distance away. It offers a memorable insight into the pristine nature and original lifestyle of our land. One of the most beautiful “rogge (canal) trails” in the valley, the Brandis trail, can be reached from the Hotel Ballguthof in just a few minutes.

Just 6 km from Lana, the internationally renowned Spa town of Merano is an invitation to total immersion in a unique natural setting and its extraordinary atmosphere, a blend of Alpine and Mediterranean charm. Whether it's a stroll for some shopping in the exclusive boutiques lining the beautiful streets, or an aperitif along the Passeggiata del Sole, in Merano everyone finds something to do!

Botanical Garden

At one time the winter residence of Empress Sissi, who came to Merano every year, attracted by its healthy climate, the Castel Trauttmansdorff park is considered one of the most beautiful gardens in Italy. Here, visitors can admire plants from all over the world, divided into over 80 botanical areas. Stations for an interactive visit and a very lively cultural schedule make visiting this park a unique sensorial experience.

Culture

One of the advantages of Lana and its surroundings is not only its excellent location, but also its extremely interesting cultural offering: the area has numerous castles and fortresses, as well as churches, chapels and convents rich in ancient history. Quaint pathways lead to the sites and buildings whose origins date back to the distant Middle Ages. Some museums, such as the Lana Museum of Fruit Farming and the Foiano Farm Museum bear witness to the characteristic agricultural tradition of the area.

Monte San Vigilio

The South Tyrolean mountains are not far away and can also be explored without a car. Located a few minutes from our hotel is the valley station for the ski lift that goes to the mountain overlooking Lana, Mount San Vigilio. It is one of the few districts in Italy in which traffic is banned, a hiking paradise suitable for families and an ideal reserve full of mountain bike trails with varying degrees of difficulty.
